I am not versed enough, nor really care about “other” people’s religion as long as it does not infringe upon my rights and freedoms. I will leave that to the sycophants and religious zealots that live in a world of hysterical hypocrisy. I just wanted to see if you are consistent. I think religion is fine in school, when it is a private school. Too many variables, and too many students today can’t even get the basic tenants of reading, writing, and arithmetic to worry about religion and other “social” items in public schools. Hire a public school student and watch them struggle to fill out an application.

But it has ALWAYS infringed upon your rights and freedoms. Religion is a major driving force in many of the conflicts that we see around the world today. And you have admitted that you are willfully ignorant of the teachings of other religions. And the schools have become willfully ignorant by driving all mention of religion out of the public school discourse.

I will leave that to the sycophants and religious zealots that live in a world of hysterical hypocrisy.

Some of those sycophants and religious zealots want to kill you and destroy your nation and take over the world. Wouldn't it behoove you to learn a little about their doctrines and history?

So people are supposed to check their religion in at the door before entering a public school? God is not welcome?

Too many variables, and too many students today can’t even get the basic tenants of reading, writing, and arithmetic to worry about religion and other “social” items in public schools.

Up until the 20th Century the main textbook in public schools was the Bible. Ever since the time the Bible has been removed from the classroom, our schools have been in decline. Coincidence?

Hire a public school student and watch them struggle to fill out an application.

Hire a kid who has studied the Bible and knows hebrew and Greek and has studied world religions and a world history that includes a study of religious conflicts and the underpinnings of religion in nearly every war ever fought on this planet, and I guarantee you he will be able to fill out an application.
